De Regreso Al Penal

Back to the Pen

De Regreso Al Penal

He opened the cellAbrió la celda
Looked aheadSu vista adelante
Saw his freedomVio su libertad

What he longed forLo que anhelaba
What he dreamed of mostLo que más soñaba
Was being homeEra estar en su hogar

Left the guitarDejo la viola
Inside his cellDentro de su celda
He didn’t want to playYa no quería tocar

He just wanted to get homeSolo quería llegar a su casa
He couldn’t take it anymoreNo aguantaba más

He hopped on a busSe subió a un bondi
That stopped at the cornerQue paro en la esquina
Near the penCerca del penal

And while the driver checked the ticketY carreteando el boleto el chofer
He said, "Go on in"Le dijo pasa

And he sat downY se sentó
And it felt likeY le pareció
He was flyingQue volaba

And when he arrivedY cuando llego
He never thoughtQue nunca pensó
He couldn’t imagineNo lo imaginaba

That he would findQue se iba a encontrar
His friend and his loveCon su amigo y su amor
In his bedDentro de su cama

And this is a shovel! Shovel! Wide shovel!¡Y esto es pala! ¡Pala! ¡Pala ancha!

He killed his wifeMato a su esposa
And his best friendA su amigo del alma
And he started to cryY se puso a llorar

And walkingY caminando
All covered in bloodTodo ensangrentado
He returned to the penRegresó al penal

The cell openedSe abrió la celda
And he walked in with his head downY entro cabizbajo
He didn’t want to talkÉl no quiso hablar

About what happenedDe lo ocurrido
About what went downDe lo sucedido
With the guys in the penCon los del penal

He lit a jointSe prendió un faso
Grabbed his guitarTomo su guitarra
And started to singY se puso a cantar

I loved her with all my lifeYo la quería con toda mi vida
Now she’s goneAhora ya no esta

And he sat downY se sentó
And it felt likeY le pareció
He was flyingQue volaba

And when he arrivedY cuando llegó
He never thoughtQue nunca pensó
He couldn’t imagineNo lo imaginaba

And he killed themY los mato
Didn’t ask whyNo les pregunto
Because they were cheating on himPorque lo engañaban

And he surrenderedY se entregó
Left all aloneMuy solo quedo
He had nothing leftYa no tenía nada

And he sat downY se sentó
And it felt likeY le pareció
He was flyingQue volaba

And when he arrivedY cuando llegó
He never thoughtQue nunca pensó
He couldn’t imagineNo lo imaginaba

That being in prisonQue estar en prisión
Chilled the passionEnfrió la pasión
Of the one he lovedDe la que amaba

And he sat downY se sentó
And it felt likeY le pareció
He was flyingQue volaba

And when he arrivedY cuando llegó
He never thoughtQue nunca pensó
He couldn’t imagineNo lo imaginaba

And he killed themY los mató
Didn’t ask whyNo les pregunto
Because they were cheating on himPorque lo engañaban

And he surrenderedY se entregó
Left all aloneMuy solo quedo
He had nothing leftYa no tenía nada

And he sat downY se sentó
And it felt likeY le pareció
He was flyingQue volaba

And when he arrivedY cuando llegó
He never thoughtQue nunca pensó
He couldn’t imagineNo lo imaginaba

That being in prisonQue estar en prisión
Chilled the passionEnfrió la pasión
Of the one he lovedDe la que amaba
